International Review of Social History 46 (2001), pp. 285±320 # 2001 International Instituut voor Sociale Geschiedenis BIBLIOGRAPHY General Issues SOCIAL THEORY AND SOCIAL SCIENCE Borghi,Lamberto. La cittaÁ e la scuola. A cura di Goffredo Fo®. EleÁuthera, Milano 2000. 207 pp. L. 25.000; A 13.00. Lamberto Borghi (1907) read philosophy in Italy and spent World War II in the United States, where he was among the followers of Gaetano Salvemini and Armando Borghi. He also contributed to Dwight Macdonald's journal Politics and, as a Fellow in Philosophy at Yale University, worked with Ernst Cassirer and John Dewey, who deeply in¯uenced his ideas. After the war he taught education in Italy and published a few widely read pedagogical studies. This book comprises twelve essays about educationalists and pedagogical issues that were previously published between 1951 and 1994 in various journals, including Scuola e cittaÁ, of which he was the executive editor. Buechler,Steven M. Social Movements in Advanced Capitalism. The Political Economy and Cultural Construction of Social Activism. Oxford University Press, New York [etc.] 2000. xiii, 240 pp. £22.99. The author attributes great importance to social movements at the end of the twentieth century. Social movements are focused, collective efforts to change the social order. They are an explicitly modern phenomenon, based on the sociological insight that society is a social bulwark, subject to change through collective action. In his study, Buechler identi®es six partially overlapping themes. The main issues are the role of social movements in achieving social change and a critique of the current, largely ahistorical, theory used in analysing social movements. The author proposes an alternative, consisting of a more structural and historical approach to social movements, and attempts to situate social theory in the more general theoretical traditions of the discipline. The chapters, classi®ed according to three main themes, may virtually all be read as separate essays. Kulla,Ralf. RevolutionaÈrer Geist und republikanische Freiheit.

This study aims to compare the ideas of Hannah Arendt (1906±1975) and Rosa Luxemburg (1871±1919), and to examine the similarities and differences in the central questions they posed in their political theories. Dr Kulla submits that Arendt and Luxemburg dealt with the same kinds of questions concerning the relation between public freedom and public power, between political organizations and extraparliamentary Downloaded from https://www.cambridge.org/core.

He concludes that the various elements in their political theories complement and offset each other. Linden,Marcel van der. Het naderende einde van de vaderlandse geschiedenis en de toekomstige studie der sociale bewegingen. Rede uitgesproken bij de aanvaarding van het ambt van bijzonder hooglereaar in de Geschiedenis der Sociale Bewegingen aan de Universiteit van Amsterdam op vrijdag 7 mei 1999. Stichting beheer IISG, Amsterdam 1999. 79 pp. D.¯. 24.90; A 11.30. In this essay ± an extended version of his inaugural lecture delivered in May 1999 as Professor of History of Social Movements at the University of Amsterdam ± Professor van der Linden argues that useful study of the history of social movements requires comparing various national developments, and examining transnational interactions. This view ties in with the de®nition of social movements formulated by Charles Tilly. In a large methodological appendix, he offers a concise overview of the methodological foundations of comparative research in historical social sciences. A bibliographical appendix features over 300 titles of international comparative historical studies of social movements, published in Dutch, English, French and German, until the end of 1998. McLaren,Peter. Che Guevara, Paolo Freire, and the Pedagogy of Revolution. Foreword by Ana Maria Arau jo Freire. [Culture and Education Series.] Rowman & Little®eld Publishers, Inc., Lanham [etc.] 2000. xxx, 221 pp. Ill. $22.95. In the three essays in this publication Professor McLaren examines the life and ideas of the two Latin-American revolutionaries, Ernesto ``Che'' Guevara (1928±1967), and the Brazilian educationalist and theorist, Paulo Freire (1921±1998), to explore the possibilities of a revolutionary pedagogy. The author is quite open about his political views: ``Young people searching for `a new way of humanity' have the examples of Freire and Che to ponder, to inspire and to emulate''. McLaren is interested in the educational value of the revolutionary ideas of Che Guevara and Freire in the postmodern world dominated by neoliberalism. In the chapter about Che, the author deals with differences and similarities between Che's views and the Zapatismo in Chiapas. Social Movements in a Globalizing World. Ed. by Donatella della Porta, Hanspeter Kriesi and Dieter Rucht. Macmillan, Basingstoke [etc.]; St. Martin's Press, Inc., New York 1999. xiv, 256 pp. £45.00. This collection, in two volumes, covers one of the chief problems that has faced social movements at the end of the twentieth century. In a relatively brief period of time, movements that usually have a national orientation increasingly face a globalizing political context. The twelve contributions, based on a conference held in Mont-PeÂlerin (Switzer- land) in June 1995, address the implications of this change for the mobilization toward collective action within a national framework and the emergence of transnational strategies among social movements. Five essays focus on the theme ``National Mobilization Within a Downloaded from https://www.cambridge.org/core.

Charles Fourier. Le jeu des passions. Actualite d'une penseÂe utopique. [Sociologie du quotidien.] DescleÂe de Brouwer, Paris 2000. 252 pp. F.fr. 150.00. In this study, Professor Tacussel analyses the range of ideas of the French social theorist Charles Fourier (1772±1837), from his mathematical and cosmogonic re¯ections to his sociology of human behaviour. Through this analysis, the author aims to demonstrate the relevance of Fourier's social philosophy to the present time, considering his early interest in the balance between economic and social development, and in the preservation of an ecological balance.
